"Why?" The warlock is looking directly at you. You can feel his presence within the dead-looking, faceless wired helmet. "Take a look around. This whole system is dead, saturated with darkness. Only one city against planets? The idea is laughable." Only now do you realize his features look faded and blurry round the edges. "The vanguard are fools, blinded by their politics and hope. They cannot see what must be done." He moves closer. The inbuilt Geiger counter in your helmet goes crazy. "A new world must be created. A new start is needed. Sacrifices must be made. For the greater good." He stops. "For the future of us all."
